Polar Pathways: Robert E. Peary's Arctic Expeditions
1891- Greenland: Stress and Storm
The dramatic Greenland coastline
“The next five days were a time of stress and storm for the little Kite. On Tuesday morning she had to lay-to several hours, after twice dipping her bows under, and rising heavily from the weight of green seas forward and in her waist. Our poorest sailors, however, forgot their misery at eleven P. M. on Tueday, June 23rd, when we got our first glimpse of the grandeur of the Greenland coast.” - Robert E. Peary, Northward over the Great Ice, published in 1898
"Among the Fiords " by Donald Baxter MacMillan, Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum Collections
